A wooden cube of side 10 cm and specific gravity 0.8 floats in water with its upper surface
horizontal. What depth of the cube remains immersed? What mass of aluminimum of specific gravity 2.7
must be attached to
(I) The upper surface,
(II) The lower surface so that the cube will be just immersed?

Hi,

To calcuate depth immersed, use buoyancy = weight of cube.
For part 1, buyoant force will only be appled on the cube and wieght would increase.
Buyancy = Volume of cube * Density of water = Total weight
For part 2, buyant force will be applied both on cube and aluminium mass and weight would increase too.
Buoyancy = Volume of ( cube + aluminium) * Density of water = Total weight

thanks

buoyancy= volume*density*g right ? why have you not considered g ?

Yes, it should be multipled with ‘g’.

when any object remains stable in a fluid , all its forces counter –balance each other and gives sum total as 0

therefore,f(downward)=mg = v*d*g (d is desitybof object)

f (upward,buoyancy)=V*D*g (D is density of fluid) , (V is the volume of object immersed)

v*d*g=V*D*G

v*d=V*D

THANK YOU HOPE IT HELPS

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
